That night, the meeting hall of the city lord's palace was brightly lit all night, and Feng Moling, Master Gou, and Mo City's chiefs, who were equivalent to aides, were discussing how to make Mo City protect themselves in the court battle.
Today, the court is still calm, but everyone in power can see that the emperor's power is constantly expanding. General Hai's army and the vassals of the three major families in Qincheng took several years to make the emperor more powerful.
She gained a firm foothold in the court; at the same time, the Queen Mother seemed to have lost her ambitions. She stayed in the palace and no longer listened to politics from behind the curtain. She withdrew from the court under the astonished eyes of everyone, but no one could
I don’t know what the always soft-faced and ruthless Queen Mother is thinking about; but the biggest hidden danger to the Queen Mother and the Emperor in the court, Runan Wang Yuanshao, has become mysterious after the death of Princess Liu five years ago.
, no one could meet him in his free time, and the women he sent to the palace were also returned by him. Some people say that it was Yuan Shao who missed his wife so much that he mourned his princess day and night outside the burned drunken garden.
Some people say that Yuan Shao has been plotting a rebellion for a long time, so he doesn't appear often.
These are all news from spies. Feng Moling doesn't know whether they are true or not. While thinking about it, she thought of Lady Yue's words. She said that she should live by relying on one force, but in this world, cunning rabbits will die and lackeys will be cooked, and all the good birds will be used.
There are so many hidden things that she can rest assured, and she doesn't want to destroy the family fortune accumulated by the Feng family for generations in her own hands.
But if you are not attached, Lady Yue is right, there are no unbroken eggs under the overthrow of the nest. Once the world is in chaos, she, Mo City, will not be easy.
In this way, it would be really difficult for her to make a choice.
Feng Moling thought about it and didn't know what to do, but when Master Gou saw her like this, he lowered his head and thought for a while before stepping forward and said: "City Lord, maybe I have a way, but this way is very risky."
Master Gou was still a little hesitant, but such a sentence was undoubtedly a ray of sunshine on a rainy day for Feng Moling, who was struggling. It made her eyes brighten. At this time, she didn't care about the method, as long as she had a method.
"If you have something to say, just say it. You can make your own judgment on whether it is good or not."
Feng Moling only wanted to be better than Lady Yue, and she didn't believe that she couldn't do such a thing. She had been pretending to be a man for so many years, and she had experienced just as much as Lady Yue. Now they are similar in age, and everything is similar. It's just that
Ever since Lady Yue came to Mo City, grandma thought she was the savior of Mo City without knowing whether she was possessed by evil spirits. Many people in Mo City have respected her since Lady Yue came. Except for Master Gou, everyone else
Everyone did not take her as the city lord seriously, which made her very unwilling.
A female city lord has shocked the world, but as a female city lord, if she doesn't have any achievements, how can she serve as the master of Mo City!
Master Gou, who had brought her up since childhood, naturally understood what Feng Moling was thinking, so he sighed in his heart and expressed his thoughts: "City Lord, the court is calm on the surface now, but secretly it has been turbulent for many years. A small pebble...
It can stir up thousands of noises, and as far as my subordinates know, Wang Yuanshao of Runan is now the person most capable of controlling Daxia."
"King of Runan?"
Feng Moling was confused, but before she said anything, Capt. Zhao stood up and said: "City Lord, it's better to discuss such a big matter with Young Master Yue Niangzi, after all..."
"Shut up! Capt. Zhao, you are a staff member of the City Lord's Mansion, not a staff member of Chunfeng Deyi Building. You must listen to me! Now Lady Yue has many things to manage, and the economy of Mo City is in her hands. She has troubles.
This city lord will handle these other matters easily!"
Feng Mo Ling emphasized the word "handle" very hard, and several of the aides on the side also understood the meaning. Zhao Tou wanted to refute, but was pulled back by the people next to him. Everyone also knew that this city lord
Because of his temper, he just waited for a while and went to talk to the young master and see how the young master behaved.
The group of people thought so, but how could Feng Moling not understand their thoughts? He put aside the dissatisfaction in his heart and just looked at Master Gou and asked: "Master, do you want me to surrender to King Runan?"
"No! Since the city lord doesn't want Mo City to be used by others, we can only find Yuan Shao. King Runan is extremely powerful. We can briefly inform King Runan about the arrival of the emperor's people. In this way, you can
When King Nan came, both sides proposed an alliance. We were in a dilemma. The two sides were fighting. We could naturally escape and find time to think of a solution. But... if this caused the court war to break out in advance, we would lose more than we gain."
Master Gou said his idea. This idea sounded good, but it also contained risks. Others did not agree with this method of hiding for a while, but after hearing this, Feng Moling suddenly thought of something.
Excellent idea.
"Master, your method is indeed not very good, but we can give King Runan a message and let him come to Mo City. What will happen after he comes is his and Mr. Nan's business. We only need to watch the fire from the other side. At the same time, both sides
If a fight breaks out, I need to use the power of Lady Yue's Spring Breeze to get King Runan and Lord Nan Xi to leave Mo City. As long as they leave Mo City, no matter how they fight, it has nothing to do with me, Mo City. The most important thing now is to gain time.
When we have time, we will naturally find a way to protect Mo City."
Listening to Master Gou's method, Feng Moling felt from the bottom of her heart that it would be better to follow Lady Yue's advice and join the emperor. However, she didn't know Yuan Shao well, so she could take a gamble. The news said that Yuan Shao didn't
Any action, but she knew that the prince could make the government and the public in such awe for such a long time, there must be something powerful about him. So her purpose was not to let the emperor and Yuan Shao fight, but she was wondering if she could
If Yuan Shao is brought to the emperor's camp, then when the two are reunited, it goes without saying who will be the winner. And after this victory, there are two big shots, Yuan Shao and General Hai, blocking the way. This cunning rabbit will die as a lackey.
It won't fall on her Feng family. In this way, the Feng family will be the meritorious officials and will not be killed because of too many meritorious services. This is really a good idea.
Feng Moling is a smart person. A smart person knows that Lady Yue’s decision to ask her to join the emperor was definitely the result of careful consideration. Although she is not convinced by Lady Yue, she also knows that this woman is better than her in many things, so she will not doubt Lady Yue’s words.
, it is the best choice to seek refuge with the emperor, the orthodox emperor.
Feng Moling had already determined her thoughts. Although she felt that there were some small flaws in this matter, there would be no mistakes. She stated her thoughts one by one. Master Gou and his staff also felt that this method was feasible.
The city lord may have really grown up.
"But City Lord, the temptation of imperial power is too great. This King of Runan..."
Zhao Captou was still worried and felt that he should discuss it with Young Master Yue Niangzi, but Feng Moling gave him a cold look and stopped keeping silent.
"Don't worry. If King Runan didn't take action when it was most advantageous, he probably won't turn against the imperial court at this time. Even if they fail to win over, we in Mo City will have time to breathe when they fight, so there is no need to worry. Zhao Batougou
Master, you are all old men of the Feng family. How to get King Runan to come to Chunfengdeyilou is up to you! I, Feng Moling, am not young anymore, and I will not treat the honor and disgrace of Mo City as a game!"
What Feng Moling said was categorical, and it was hard for Capt. Zhao to say anything. After all, they were all members of the Feng family, so they naturally obeyed the orders of the city lord. Several staff members thought this method was good, and Capt. Zhao did not say much.
Having said that, I thought that even if something happened, with Lady Yue and the young master here, the city lord would be fine.
Whatever the city lord wants to do, let her do it!
As a result, everyone dispersed, and Feng Moling stood in the pavilion of the city lord's palace, looking at the meandering water with a victorious smile on her lips.
Lady Yue, I will prove that in front of these old people of the Feng family and in front of Mian Yue, I will prove that Feng Moling can definitely hold up the sky of Mo City.
Feng Moling was full of confidence, but not far away in Qincheng, a group of chattering women in the Runan Palace were waiting for a man who never showed up in the living room.
The misty servant girl's bun stirs up the fragrant wind, and the light silk silk is being passed on. The red silk powder is smeared with glazed smoke, and the daughter is shy with her coquettish smile.
The female relatives in the living room greeted each other with sweet smiles, but it was another matter if the smiles were a little sincere. These women were all official female relatives who came to the Runan Palace to attend the flower viewing party held by the concubine. The concubine was sitting on the throne.
He looked at the woman below from the Taishi chair with a kind smile on his face, but there was an anxious look in his eyes.
"Xiao Xizi, why doesn't this prince come?"
The concubine covered her mouth with silk and carefully asked Eunuch Xi beside her. Eunuch Xi looked outside, but could not see the prince.
"Toffee, do you want me to go and urge you?"
Eunuch Xi said tentatively, and the concubine had a bad look on her face, but when she thought that there was no female family member in this palace, it was really unreasonable, so she waved her hand and asked Eunuch Xi to hurry, while the women who were smiling openly and secretly observing the concubine
, they all have calculations in their hearts.
I straightened my clothes and hair, just waiting for the legendary god-like prince to arrive.
But not long after, Eunuch Xi came back, but there was no one following him.
"Xiao Xizi, what's going on?"
The concubine's face was not happy, and she did not hide it at this time. Instead, the happy father-in-law bowed awkwardly and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I went to Zuiyuan, but the prince is not there. I went to Jinyuan, Jinyuan's."
The guard said that the prince had gone out to do some business and wouldn't be back for a while. He didn't know where he had gone."
"What!" The concubine got up in anger and slapped the table. The frightened woman on the side who was pretending not to care and was joking suddenly quieted down. Seeing that she was losing her composure, the concubine hurriedly sat down, waved her hand and said: "Since the prince is not coming back for the time being.
, then the matter of choosing the concubine will be decided by me personally. First select a few women for the prince to stay in the palace, and bring him back to see whoever is satisfied can be chosen as the princess! This Liu family has been there for five years, the prince
If you don't marry a concubine, the palace will really have no heirs!"
After that, the concubine turned her attention to the ladies attending the banquet. When the girls heard this, they immediately became interested and rushed to come. The concubine looked at these women and showed a deep smile.
At this time, Yuan Shao was already on the way south. Looking at the post inviting him to participate in the Mocheng Hundred Flowers Festival, doubts flashed in his eyes, but he still asked Qinghun Qingpo, who was driving, to speed up.
